      Four Questions to Improve Your Team's Performance
   
  A simple, effective exercise to do with your team on a regular basis: 

1. Have every team member share one thing they most appreciate about each other on the team.

2. Now, have everyone share the #1 thing they feel the team (not the individuals) does well.

3. Next, have everyone share just one thing they think the team could do better.

4. Have everyone on the team pledge what they will do individually to contribute to the highest priority suggestion that comes out of #3 above.

Official Ice Cream Month is right around the corner, as is Make Your Own Sundae Day, so make plans now to have an open sundae bar with as many toppings as you can imagine. Award prizes for the craziest topping combination, and award a prize for the sundae creation and appropriate name that best embodies your team or company spirit.
